#PancakeDay Round-Up – 11 Pancakes for you to relish

Presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail.com. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!).

On the occasion of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!). Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lent fasting period. Pancake Day is also called Mardi Gras in some other places (New Orleans, for example) which is French for Fat Tuesday 🙂 So here’s to fattening up with pancakes (or not, as we have quite some healthy options for you here).

Presenting the 11 Pancakes – sweet, savoury, desi, videsi!

Breakfast pancakes

Since my last post, I've been in Pondicherry, Chennai and then Goa. It was a wonderful last week of 2006 and ushering the new year in Goa was some experience. The hustle bustle and the excitement along with the calmness of the sea is something that must be experienced to be understood. The past week

Recipe for Eggless Triple Blueberry Pancakes

Besan Cheela stuffed with Paneer Bhurji

Savoury pancakes with mushrooms and onions

Who doesn't like mildly sweet spongy pancakes all dripping with maple syrup? There weren't many pancake-serving places in Mumbai earlier so my first brunch with a stack o' pancakes was in at the IHOP in Rochester, NY. My favourite being the multigrain pancakes, which had the grainy bits within and a

4 Lentil Pancake ( Paruppu Adai )

Traditionally Adai (South Indian Lentil Pancake ) is made with a mixture of lentils in a certain proportion. This is my own version. Sometimes, you have a little bit of all dals remaining in your pantry, then this is the best way to clean up all those bottles. You have soak the dals and then grind

  • Bread for the week sorted— sourdough with around 18% ragi flour 20% whole wheat and the rest all purpose flour with a higher hydration that led to a more open crumb. Higher hydration means I can’t shape them too well. Almost plopping the dough onto the pan / tray and let it take its own shape. I don’t mind that, because I love the crumb here.

  • My beautiful avocado plant grown solely from keeping the seed floating in water...this must be 4 months old, I think. . Don't throw away any avocado seeds without trying this - remove the outer papery cover from the skin. Poke 3-4 toothpicks into the seed around it, so that the toothpicks can rest on the rim of a glass such that the bottom of the seed touches the water. Keep changing water every week. First the root will grow then shoots will come out, then leaves. Truly beautiful. . Save this post, try it out and tag me with your avocado plant progress. . 🌿🌿🌿FOLLOW @saffrontrail 🌿🌿🌿
  • The beauty of homemade butter.... . I used the paneer making box to shape the butter like this :) used some of the fresh butter to go with today's Adai and the rest has been made into ghee. . Rough process-- Buy full cream milk. Boil the milk and refrigerate overnight. Collect each day's cream in a box and keep in freezer. Once box is full, thaw, remove into a bowl, mix in some yogurt and allow cream to turn into sour cream. For around 500 ml of collected cream, I use 2-3 tbsp of yogurt. This process takes 4-10 hours depending on how hot the weather is. Add water to the bowl and using electric or balloon whisk, keep whipping until the butter separates out and floats. Collect butter in a box with holes to allow excess buttermilk to drip. Freeze it to retain shape or simmer this to make ghee.
